Class warfare score for today: Rich: 2; Poor: 0; Ann Romney: clueless (seriously, whose idea was it for her to say that?). OK, maybe she just misspoke. But seriously, if you or a member of your immediate family is worth a $250,000,000 (aka A QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS), you are rich. You may also be virtuous and kind and generous, but you are also rich. And not just a little. LIke, seriously rich. Maybe not Bill Gates or Warren Buffett rich, but still fabulously, outrageously, curl-your-hair, you-can't-be-serious rich. Rich with a capital R. As in Romney.

Back to links: Cardinal Archbishop and conference president Timothy Dolan has sent a letter to his brother bishops promising a further fight with the administration about the HHS mandate (you know which one); it is typographically interesting in that every time the phrase "religious freedom" appears, it is italicized. In other news, the Brooklyn diocesan newspaper is opposing high taxes in an embarrassing editorial because they limit Catholic's religious freedom to donate to Catholic charitable efforts.
